Quickstart plugin: Enable accessibility checks and fix remaining a11y issues

[christoph-jerolimov]

The quickstart plugin has playwright tests that include a bunch of accessibility assertions.

The tests runs runAccessibilityTests from @workspaces/quickstart/e2e-tests/utils/accessibility.ts, but failures are ignored at the moment.

1. Remove the skipViolationsAssert attribute from the options parameter of runAccessibilityTests.
2. Run the expect statement always to check the validations.
3. Run the playwright tests via CI=1 yarn test:e2e and list the left over issues.
4. Try to resolve these issues in the code base. When unsure, or not all issues can be removed, create a PR anyway.

Triage Summary

Severity: Medium | Category: Bug (testing gap)

The quickstart plugin's Playwright e2e tests run axe-core accessibility scans but currently pass skipViolationsAssert: true, meaning violations are silently ignored. This issue requests enabling those assertions and fixing the underlying a11y issues.

What needs to change

1. Remove skipViolationsAssert: true from both test files:
   • e2e-tests/quick-start-developer.spec.ts (line ~53)
   • e2e-tests/quick-start-admin-guest.spec.ts (line ~51)
2. Optionally simplify e2e-tests/utils/accessibility.ts by removing the skipViolationsAssert option entirely
3. Run tests with CI=1 yarn test:e2e to surface current violations
4. Fix a11y issues in the quickstart plugin components (likely ARIA labels, heading hierarchy, color contrast, or keyboard navigation)

Proposed test verification

# After fixes, run the e2e tests — they should pass with zero violations:
cd workspaces/quickstart
CI=1 yarn test:e2e

# The runAccessibilityTests function asserts:
# expect(accessibilityScanResults.violations).toEqual([])
# Any remaining violation will fail the test with details.

This is a well-scoped task with clear instructions from the maintainer. A developer can start immediately by removing the skip flag, running tests, and iterating on fixes.

Labels: Quickstart workspace enhancement to enable a11y test assertions — suits the workspace label, enhancement type, and good first issue for onboarding.
